Description 

Far right route on the guard tower. Not much going on here, but worth it to TR the 10+ center route maybe. Basically climb arete until a steep move to pull the ledge, then traverse far left for chains. The follower may not like the ledge pull if it is close to ability level since there might be a big pedulum if no other protection was placed up top, but once on the ledge, it is 5.4 moves or so.

Protection 

a couple bolts, maybe a cam or two. Chains up top
